High Water BluesOn a nice spring dayI found a cage in the yard It was just that way I found a cage in the yard I was thinking back about all the times I was stuck in the basement with the booze on my mind I was thinking back about all the times I was stuck in the basement with the booze on my mind High water, high water High water blues High water, high water High water blues It was in locks and chains And the smiles of tar All the keys that I made Never fit in the car I was reeling and I couldn't be found Like the hammer hits a nail I was bent upside down I was reeling and I couldn't be found Like the hammer hits a nail I was bent upside down High water, high water High water blues High water, high water High water blues Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Broken bottles of disgrace Weeds and old metal wire [?] I used an old black tire All my pictures were locked up in a trunk When the water came up, it was just my bad luck All my pictures were locked up in a trunk When the water came up, it was just my bad luck High water, high water High water blues High water, high water High water blues Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin Take it on the chin |
